JAMBOX'S LEE EVANS REMASTERS ICONIC 'IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT' BEAT

The first four beats of Impeach The President by the Honeydrippers, are ubiquitous to the 80s and 90s Hip-Hop era. The beat has been sampled in over 700 songs, making it one of the most sampled beats in the history of Hip-Hop and was truly instrumental in defining the sound of that early hip-hop era

Most pre-millennials will know the first four beats of the song, but most will not know the entire song itself, after the rest of the band joins in. They also don't know how funky a band the Honeydrippers actually were, or the fact that it was written during a time when Nixon, our then president, was about to be impeached. The song was basically in agreement saying the ‘presidents got to go’.We’ve had the honor to Re-Master this piece of history in our top recording and mastering studios in NYC for NYC long time itop industry player, Tuff City Records. "We chose not to stray too much from the original, go for more richness, and fullness, but not overwhelming." Enclosed is a 20 sec sample of the original beat only loop and a longer sample of the new mastered version, ...longer for your listening enjoyment!

This may be the perfect time to bring this beat back! What do you think? Do you like the new Master?
